You may remember earlier in the year I posted an appeal from Baas Galgo for help to pay for veterinary fees for a badly injured galga, which they named Lady Carla. Here is an update on how she is getting on.

Galga Phoebe, saved from drowning, looking for foster or forever home
Galgos are still being abandoned, even though it is now the Spanish hunting season. This bitch was rescued by an English couple, exhausted and in danger of drowning in a canal. She was literally on her last breath when they dragged her out. They think she was in the canal because farmers were shooting at her the day before. She was exhausted. Tina says, ‘The couple still have her in their home but need a new place for her. They wont take her in the refuge because she is out of the border and to be honest after all she has been through its better she doesnt come in anyway..’. She is about 1 year old, her body already scarred, as you can see in the photo.
If you can help with foster or forever home, please contact Tina, who will also be very grateful for donations towards her microchip, vaccinations, castration.

Gandalf desperately needs his forever home – please help this galgo
The volunteers involved in galgo and podenco rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming work with dedication and commitment towards the ultimate solution for these maltreated and abused dogs. But sometimes circumstances change, which means the dog has to move on. Everyone hopes he/she will not be affected by this, and it is amazing how resilient the dogs are.
Here is one boy who, through no fault of his own, now has to leave his foster home and return to Los Infiernos refuge, home to over 200 dogs. Tina Solera is desperately seeking another foster or forever home for him, so he doesn’t have to cope with the refuge again. If you can help, please get in touch with Tina.

Cordoba pregnant galga, saved, with her six puppies – forever homes needed
Do you remember the story of the very pregnant galga, loose on the streets of Cordoba, rescuers vainly trying to catch her before she got injured. Well, we’ve got good news.
Look at the link below in facebook which was sent to me by a very good friend, Ainara. I am sorry it is in Spanish…but you can see the photos of where she had her puppies…Thanks to the fact she hid, Arca de Noe of Cordoba could rescue them. Well done for all the volunteers who participated for so long in trying to rescue her!

Galgo Randy – Pro-Galgo needs him to find his forever home
I’ve had a plea from Mo Swatek of Pro Galgo, as the association is desperately searching for a home for this stunning galgo recently rescued. If anyone can adopt him, please get in touch with her urgently. Here’s his story.
RANDY is about 4 years old and was found near a gasstation in the city
of Tarragona, (Catalonya) where no galgo hunting is practiced.
Due to the arrival of loads of travellers in the area, since july we
have rescued in and around Tarragona already 6 galgos, one is still
waiting in the local perrera to come to us but we have 21 dogs here and
it’s impossible to have him until some get adopted. -
Restabal, Grenada, Spain, can anyone help these starving dogs
Calling everyone involved in animal rescue in Andalucia. I’ve just received the following message from Scooby Medina who unfortunately are much too far away to be able to help these dogs. Can anyone go and rescue them?
‘Hello,
I am hoping you may be able to help me, I have just returned to the United States from a short trip to the Grenada region. We rented a house in the rugged countryside south of Grenada called the Lecrin Valley, we were nearest the small village of Restabal, not far from Durcal. -

Fiesta des Galgos 2010, American style! Galgos galore rehomed from Spain
In support of Charl del Rio’s annual Fiesta des Galgos, held at the beginning of December, I organised my Fete des Galgos in France on 12th September (the weather’s better than in December!) and GRIN in America organised their Fiesta des Galgos picnic on 19th September. You can already see the pix of my Fun Dog Show for the event, and here’s a few pix of the American event. Check out Mr & Mrs Spain – it could only happen in America, bless them! As a result of this event, GRIN were able to send donations to help Silvia in Valencia pay for the veterinary treatment for the galgos and podencos in her care.

Romeo, saved in April, in danger from a galguero, looking for his forever home.
Help, please, anyone in the Torre Pacheco, Murcia, area or anywhere. Tina has been seeking a forever home for handsome galgo Romeo since she rescued him in April. Today she was told that tomorrow he will be given to a hunter!! You can imagine her distress! Common with a lot of the volunteers in the refuges…..saving the galgos only for them to be stolen back for the hunters! Here’s her appeal
‘I currently have Romeo in my garden. If I didnt take him today then tomorrow he was leaving with a hunter… i couldnt let that happen. OH MY GOD, husband is going to kill me. So far he is great with Guapo and has been good as gold, out of the refuge he is calmer. he has no microchip, no vaccines and is castrated.
Please help me, I cant keep him but if he stays in the refuge tomorrow he will be with a galguero.’
UPDATE Silvia in Valencia rushed to the rescue, Romeo is now on his way to her. If you can adopt this stunning galgo, please contact her.
